Propeptide degradation and activity restoration of M-PIV by LasB. (A) The purified 100 ng of LasB was mixed with 800 ng of M-PIV in 25 μl reaction volume and incubated at room temperature (RT) for 30 min. For control, the purified LasB and M-PIV were separately incubated in the same condition. All fractions were applied to 12% SDS-PAGE and visualized by Coomassie staining. Lane 1–2, M-PIV alone with no or 30 min incubation; lane 3–4, LasB alone with no or 30 min incubation; lane 5–7, M-PIV + LasB with no, 5, or 30 min incubation. This gel picture was cropped and the full-length gel picture is presented in supplementary data (Fig. S4B). (B) The PIV activities of P-PIV, M-PIV, LasB, and M-PIV + LasB were measured by chromogenic substrate. The amount of the purified proteins used in each reaction is indicated. The activity was measured promptly after adding the proteins without incubation.
